Challenging Boys to be Mentally Awake (versus zoned out video gamers)

church leadership & multilevel marketing

Vitaliy, my husband, would like to hear some general thoughts on what you think might be good/bad/indifferent about having church leaders doing multilevel marketing. in this situation, it’s church leaders who don’t have a salary from the church.

BJU Bible Conference & C. Sexton

Is anyone else concerned that BJU is having Clarence Sexton speak at Bible Conference? Sexton, in very recent memory has put a stamp of approval on not only Jack Schaap (prior to the sex scandal of course), but also on First Baptist of Hammond and their new pastor. FBCH has not owned its sin nor is it admitting its idolatry of man which paved a clear path for Schaap to groom and prey upon his victim(s).

At best, Sexton has shown little to no discernment and I’m baffled that he’s on the schedule to speak this year.
